A seated figure sits on a raised golden throne-like seat framed by a large ornate golden arch, with a golden arched niche behind. He wears a reddish-brown wrap with a rudraksha-style mala across the chest and long swept-back hair, and holds a rope-like cord in his hand. Golden trident and staff-like ritual objects stand to the right, with brass oil lamps lit on both sides and a small white flower bed in front. Painted pillars in pink, green and purple frame the scene, with carved figures on the sides. Appearance-based label: a person seated in a ceremonial setting, matching the page's note that he presided at this event.

The seated figure wears a rudraksha mala and has long hair and bare shoulders. A small tray of white flowers sits before the dais. The figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, though a robed person with long hair is visible, so identity is uncertain.2013-03-26A seated figure in a red-maroon robe and a long beaded rudraksha necklace sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved backrest and a striped cloth draped over the seat, in front of a painted blue and pink shrine with green-striped pillars and hanging oil lamps. A priest in a reddish-brown dhoti stands at left, holding a lit flame or aarti lamp toward the seated figure, while small brass lamps stand on either side. The seated figure appears to be a candidate for a person, identifiable by the throne and rudraksha mala, with the same appearance cues as described on the page, though the face is not clearly distinguishable. Gold and pink decorative figures of birds appear on the shrine edges. Aarti is being offered in a temple setting.2013-04-01January 28 20132013-01-28March 31 20132013-03-31
